Bye Bye Earl

What? That's it?

Yes, we did report a couple of days ago about the possibility of the NBC sitcom My Name Is Earl getting a thirteen episode revival, but alas this shall not be. Representatives of Twentieth Century Fox confirmed for the hopeful fan base that the possibility of Earl gaining more episodes on TBS will not happen. Instead of trying to summarize the entire statement from the good folks of The Hollywood Reporter, here’s the whole thing:

“Greg Garcia’s brilliant ‘My Name Is Earl’ kept America laughing for the past four seasons and certainly deserved to continue for many more,” 20th TV said in a statement Thursday.
“While we had hoped to find a way to produce additional episodes for TBS, in the final analysis we simply could not make the economics work without seriously undermining the artistic integrity of the series. As none of us, Greg included, want the show to go out on anything but a high note, we regret that we must put to rest any speculation that ‘Earl’ will continue. 
“We are grateful to everyone at TBS for their enthusiasm for the series and wish to offer our heartfelt thanks to the cast and crew of ‘My Name Is Earl’ for their incredible work.”

My Name Is Earl will, however, still continue to air its reruns on TBS, but no future episodes are planned.
